Great graphics best ive seen,, great how you beat the story but you still can do side missions. meets every aspect of what i was expecting but greatly improved... This is a MUST BUY! Gameinformer Gives it 10/10... CAT WOMAN IS SMOKin ... IF i Couuld I Would!!!!LOL

on arkham city the moves have improved and graphics since arkham asylum.the story line is good and lasting appeal is great cause u could free roam around arkham city.i think it should win game of the year instead of skyrim

Marvel comics will probably make a game like this. Batman AA and AC have to be the best games based off a comic book hero...ever. Never in my entire life have I seen a game with such impressive gameplay mechanics and over-the-top revision of characters. This in my top 5 games of 2011 for good reason: It will NOT disappoint. Definitively a contender for game of the year and it's most likely gonna wow the gaming universe.

Batman AA is the best Comicbook themed game of all time that's a given but after that can you name a DC Comics game that is at least decent. You have DC Universe Online and thats it. Marvel Comics have never made a great game but they have released a lot of good to really good games something DC Comics can't say they have released: Ultimate Marvel Alliance 1&2, Spiderman Shattered Dimensions, The incredible Hulk ultimate destruction, Spider-man web of shadows, Ultimate Spiderman, X-men Legends 1&2. It's just like how Batman Dark Knight may be the best comic book themed movie ever made but next on the list would be about 5 to 8 Marvel Movies.

this game is INCREDIBLE the gliding techniques its a whole new experience from arkham asylum, UNLIKE CALL OF DUTY. This game should be GAME OF THE YEAR because its a new thing, unlike call of duty it maintains a different graphic engine and its not the same thing with different missions and all. THIS GAME DESERVES TO BE GAME OF THE YEAR, Because its a new experience and its FREAKING AWESOME

well they took al long time to make the game the last batman game they made was 3 year ago so that means it took them 3 years to make this game thats a long time so it better be good because they must have put great detail if it took them 3 years.

This game is just amaing. I love how batman Kills people it is just sick. Also if you Get Batman Arkham City get the catwoman bonus she is just amazing. She is much better then batman. GET THIS GAME PEOPLE!!! SubScribe to my chanel on youtube i will have walkthrough for most missions in batman arkham city

I want this game more than anything. I am hoping it is longer then the 1st one. I am also hoping it is rated Teen. But otherwise I know this game will do very well and no doubt in my mind game of the year 2011

Review 12 for Batman: Arkham City

Don't Stop The Trend Batman!

Posted on:7/2/11

bewitness

Location: Washington DC

When it comes to comic book movies, the second movie in the series is usually the best. For instance you have Spider-man 2, X-Men 2, Superman 2 and Batman Dark Knight. I hope this game series follows the same trend and Arkham City becomes a classic follow up. I'm not really feeling Gamestop's DLC for the game especially when Best Buy is offering additional Maps and the ability to play as Robin in every Challenge map. I am some what surprised that there is not a collectors edition of the game, especially since they had one for the original game. I loved how the original game really stayed true to the character and made us feel like we where actually the caped crusader. Despite this game offering more of an open world(GTA) feel, I expect that they will ensure that feeling is not compromised. With Arkham City we get more villains more weapons more locations, more driving and more gadgets. That sounds like a winner to me. Holy game of the year caliber sequel batman!

Overall this is a fantastic game. The story is amazing and the graphics are outstanding. I have three problems with this game though. The one that doesn't bother me much is the sound. When Batman listens to others over his radio once in a while things like steam pipes will dull the voices making it hard to hear some dialogs. Second, the navigation of arkham city is very mediocre. I will often find myself trying to aim a line for a roof not far in the distance only to have myself pulled very far behind me, often losing me the mission. This happens quite often when trying to travel. It is like grappling places are individually picked out for you, giving you no real freedom. The last thing would be the combat system. Watching all the crazy fighting styles is breath taking, but when trying to target someone, lets take a shield holding bad guy for example, you will stung him, jump up, and for some reason decide to hit a totally different thug leaving the big one unharmed. Overall, it is cool because it is Batman.

Review 14 for Batman: Arkham City

give us a better last battle

Posted on:12/17/09

legacycash

I am a huge batman fan.From the movies,comics and the past batman games.I loved the 1st game and was there for the midnight launch and got the collectors edition which had some cool things such as a journal of the arkham patients and the 14 in bat-a-rang stand that was used in the 1st batman arkham asylum game.Also,having Kevin Conroy(batman) and Mark Hamill(joker) doing their own voices from the animated series was the thing that this game needed.One thing that i disliked about the game was the that there was actually no challenge in the last fight.Everyone knew that you were going to fight the joker but it should have been more epic than it was.The last fight was too easy.Hope that the joker and two face make this game even better in the arkham asylum 2.Never the less this is one of the best games i have played on the xbox 360.Can't wait for the dark knight to return with all his gadgets and puzzle solving.R.I.P Heath Ledger for giving and unforgettable joker performance in the dark knight movie.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers

In all my years of being a gamer I never thought that I would say what I am about to say...this game is perfect. To soar through the dark, decaying and terribly beautiful city skyline that is Arkham City is simply fun in itself, not to mention the all-star villain cast that comes with this game. Follow the main campaign for roughly 16 hours of play and yet you're still not satisfied? No worries, you get to play through again with all your equipment searching for those tricky riddler trophy's , not to mention all of the DLC that has been promised for this game. The combat is solid and the caped crusaders gadgets fit the game play perfectly. Even though the upgraded AI is tougher, your use of stealth and gadgets more than makes up for the seemingly smarter baddies. Pick this game up if you have ever heard the name Batman before and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Sheer perfection.

Honestly, i didn't like the game that much... 63 dollars wasted because I feel it wasn't worth it. Graphics were great, along with the story and all that but it was way to short. I bought it at midnight and beat it the following day, and completed the side stories 2 days later.. no replay value at all. I've never beat a game that fast so i'm mad i wasted my money... big disappointment. But then again that's just my opinion.

I would have to strongly disagree with game informer.This is the best video game of all time period,not just of licensed games,of all games.This is the best game of all time for various reasons.1.The scale of this game is absolutely jaw dropping even beating red dead redemption.2.Great graphics for all charecters and environments in arkham city.3.Perfect gameplay,batman and catwomans moves quickly put ezio and dustan to shame.4.Lots,and lots of classic batman villains including:joker,harley,two face,bane,mad hatter,victor zazz,mister freeze,dead shot,penguin,solomon grundy,ra's ahl ghul, clay face,hugo strange,and more.5.Great voice acting.6.Endless entertainment thanks to a long polished campaign,lots of side missions,many ridler trophies to be found,and very fun challenge rooms.7.And ontop of all this there is a mezmorizing story that breaks all storytelling barriors set by previous games.

Honestly, I couldn't have said it better myself. YOU should be reviewing video games professionally. You hit all the right points and praised all the best details without giving away too much. Well done.Great review. Maybe when Batman: Arkham Knights comes out you and I can kick butt on multiplayer.

I immediately started playing Batman Arkham City right after Arkham Asylum so I was able to follow the storyline rather well because I knew what was going on. Knowing what happened in the ending of Arkham Asylum, I didn't really have a good guess to what was to come in Arkham City, but it was a pretty cool idea. This game starts you with most of the gadgets you used in Arkham Asylum so it helps to travel around the probably five times bigger open-world area. The open-world area of Arkham City offers a lot more than Arkham Asylum, due to the much larger amounts of side missions. Arkham Asylum revolved almost all around Joker, this game revolves around so much more: Joker, Two-Face, Penguin, Mr. Freeze, and plenty of others. There's a few new gadgets to use which are pretty cool. This game feels like it offers quite a bit more than Arkham Asylum. The combat is fluent, but still may have some very minor flaws. Overall, still, this was a very great game.

this game is the best game i have played this year, based on the core storyline of the game and the combat style. even for someone new to the game it feels like you've been playing the game for a century. the storyline is very interesting and gives a solid 10 to 14 hours of gameplay. then there is still the challenge maps, riddler trophys, catwomen missions, side missions and the campaign plus. the free-roam style mirrors assassin's creed. and above all the flying mechanics make it fun, easy, and realistic. huge improvement from what i saw/played of asylum. *game of the year candidate* thumbs up if u agree;)
